IMPROVEMENT IN DEVICES FOR MULTIPLVING M OTION."

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 179,000, dated June 20, 1876; application filed October 19, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ELIJAH L.'GORIELL and GILES ORAMTON, both of the city of Marshall, Oalhoun county, State of Michigan,

have invented a new and useful Ohurning Attachment for Windmills, of which the following is a specification, when taken in. connection with the; accompanying drawings, of

which Figure 1 isa perspectiveview of the lower portion of a windmill towerand platform, with the attachment in place. Fig. 2 is a per spective view of the device. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the zigzag slide'B B. Fig. 4 is a rear elevation of the lever A A.

It is well known that the motion of the pitman-rod of the windmills in common use among farmers for pumping is not sufiicient'ly rapid for operating a churn directly connected to it.

The object of our invention is to provide a means for multiplying the strokes of 'sucha pitman, and so adapt it to driving a churn.

This attachment consists, essentially, of a zigzag slide, B B, working in a box,F, or other-' suitable bearing, provided with grooves or guides, and a lever, A A, having a projection, d, either withor without a friction roller, d,

fitting closely into the channelf of the zigzag.

The lever A A- has its fulcrum at b, the projection or friction roller dbeing upon its short arm A. A light pitman-rod, 0,-connects the long arm of the lever with the dasher of a common churn. Holes iii are provided in the lever arm A for adjusting the stroke of the dasher.

The bearing F, that carries the zigzag B, is bolted to a suitable timber, andthe zigzag is connected by some convenient means with the pitman-rod of the windmill.

The vertical length of thezigzag channel f, Fig. 3, is made equallto the length of stroke given it by the pitman rod of the windmill.

Since the lever A A turns or rocks upon the fixed fulcrum b, and the friction roller d engages with the zigzag channel f, there will be as many vibrations to the arm A as there detached, and any of the ordinary-arrange ments for connecting the pump rod with the pitman may be used to connect the stem of the zigzag with the pitman, rendering it readily connected or disconnected with the windmill.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The attachment herein described for multiplying'motion, consisting of a reciprocating slide, B, provided with a zigzag channel, f,

and working in grooves or guides in the box F, in combination with a pivoted lever, A A, providedwith a projection, d, fitting into the channel f, when constructed and arranged to operate in the manner substantially as and for the purpose specified.
